Original Contemporary Poetry about the Human Condition

Unfamiliar | A Poem by Guy Farmer

Charting an unsteady courseHome from a party whereHe enjoyed twenty too many,It struck him that he was in anUnfamiliar house.Stumbling through rooms,Desperately trying notTo announce his presence orBother anyone,Maddeningly unable to doAnything but flounderHelplessly as he careenedFrom point to point.A sad young creature windingIts way toward a place itDoesn’t want to be.
